Every morning DH asks me to check over his face for random missed shaving bits and blemishes. Then when I tell him he's fine, he says 'Are you sure?'. Angry Just look in the fucking mirror you dick.

I speak to my mum everyday on the phone. She always asks me what we're having for tea. I tell her then she tells me whether she likes that particular meal or not (usually not). I'm not inviting her round so why do I care if she likes my tea or not? Angry

I'm an unreasonable person.

I like the way that the misuse of prepositions is exciting ire.

What gets right on my threepennies is: What do you think to this dress?

Of this dress, ya moron.

DH asking me "What's the time?" as he runs around panicked about being late. Angry

  1. It's "What time is it?"
  2. WE HAVE FOUR FUCKING CLOCKS IN THE KITCHEN AND THERE IS A WATCH ON YOUR WRIST AND A PHONE IN YOUR HAND.


"I don't know" has become my stock response which gives HIM the rage.

DH "Where are all the black socks?" (usually five minutes before we have to leave for work)

I don't know dear. I do faintly recall stuffing most of them up my jacksy a week last Tuesday - that might explain it! Grin #idiot

Carrying things. I absolutely hate it. One handbag I can cope with but add laptop bag/overnight bag, then I'm fuming.

DP putting washing up on the side above the dishwasher. Just put it in the dishwasher.

People who don't have their money/card ready at the checkout.

I live next to an ice cream parlour, and at this time of year, the outside seating area gets really busy. I have no problem with seeing children licking ice cream cones, but when I see adults slobbering all over them, all I can think is 'cunnilingus'. I do NOT want to know what some complete stranger looks like when he goes down on his wife. Just....shudder. Have had to crab-walk past the damn place all this week.

Coffee at work.
It's spilled everywhere and people don't wash their teaspoon which means unsuspecting tea drinker is poisoned by tiny shit particles of coffee. Yuck.

And coffee breath.
Also you can smell if the person who used the loo before you is a coffee drinker or a smoker.
It's THE most disgusting thing.

DH asking me questions that I have no idea what the answer is, for example:

Some one knocks at the door..DH asks me who it is???

We hear a noise coming from the back room..DH asks me what that was!!!

I don't have a fucking clue who is knocking or what that noise was as I'm in the same fucking room as you.

Also when we go someone new (cafe/restaurant etc) we'll have been in the place for 2 minutes and DH asks me where thare toilets are. Wtaf..it makes me so angry. He gets a sharp "how the fuck do I know"?

When people end perfectly sensible posts on Mumsnet with the word "no" and a question mark
Why is it so irritating? It works better in French - maybe they are all French?

I can't stand it when people say 'very much so' it sounds so smug. Just say yes instead! I also hate wet grass, and especially cut wet grass, I get so angry if I have to walk on it.

People (DH) singing/whistling Angry he says it's because he's happy. Smug bastard.

Cats lives - most mornings I'll be leaving my house to see a plethora of passed out moggies set up for the day in a cool sun spot dotted around my driveway. I then have to reverse carefully around them which takes about 5x longer. Get a fucking job you furry little shits!

Well prepared people. The kind that come to work with a breakfast, mid-morning snack, salad for lunch, fruit salad for afternoon snack, they have their gym kit ready in the car to head straight over after work and a casserole in the slow cooker for when they get home. I always find myself wishing they get a flat tyre and all their plans are scuppered then they return home to a dry casserole Smile

Shop browsing. Find it online and pick it up as quickly as possible or grab the first thing you see and if it's wrong keep it anyway and do the same thing again on your next visit. What's so wrong with that?

Posts on Mumsnet with "you know" in them.

Because, you know, it's annoying and patronising and makes you look like a dick.

When people use starving instead of hungry. It makes me think less of them as a person.

Today everything makes me angry except this thread which has made me laugh.

I suppose how stubborn and inflexible washing machines are.

Totally second that bloody top loader song.

Anyone sounding overly chirpy and Danny Bakerish in the morning.

Second DH socks/boxers/not knowing the time/whose at the door/where the toilets are.

Having a bath, not because I don't like baths - I love them - but because we only have one loo and me running the bath seems to be a trigger for each of the three children to queue up to take a shit, complete with a distant look in their eyes and a slight grunt. They then stand around the bath post shit and all look at me appraisingly whilst I shave my legs.

I also hate shaving my legs.

People interrupting me. I'm beginning to suspect that the world will end if I'm allowed to complete a sentence and nobody has told me, so they keep interrupting me to save the planet.

People standing on my feet. I don't have huge feet, so why must they be stood on several times every single day?
